I just love love love this product, and think it should be a staple for most everyone's supplement protocol. Even a seemingly perfect diet these days is void of so many minerals due to the depleted soil.

Bonus: Spanish Black Radish is a great source (one of the best) of the metabolites that make sulforaphane in the body (which aids in detoxification, liver support, etc). But another great source is Broccoli Sprouts! Check out my previous blog post all about growing your own broccoli sprouts in just a couple days at home! And of course, when in doubt, just eat your cruciferous veggies, which all contain these phytonutrients supporting liver health and detoxification.

Oh, and if you can't find organic livers in your local grocery store, I get mine from US Wellness Meats online.

In 2008, I was introduced to the company, Standard Process (SP), via a holistic healing wellness center where I worked at the front desk. I became familiar with the products, fell in love with their healing capabilities, and knew that I needed to learn more about them. So when I moved to Northern California in 2009, one of my first business moves was to open my own account with the company. Back then, I really only used the products that directly supported my fitness goals, like their multivitamin (Catalyn), protein powder (SP Complete), and the 21 Day Purification Program. But my knowledge quickly grew, as I followed some specific healing protocols that helped me overcome some of my own pretty crazy health issues that I previously thought only conventional medicine could help with.

Fast forward 16 years, and thousands of hours of learning, healing, practicing, and helping others later, and I received my first invitation to visit the Standard Process farm in Palmyra,...

Poop is one of the first things I talk about with all of my nutrition clients, and we talk about it often (like, in every single session). It tells an important story of what's happening on the inside (of the digestive system). So, when my daughter (4 years old at the time) would go for days without pooping, I knew something was up. 

Was she just holding it in because she was scared of the toilet? Was she eating enough fiber in her diet? If you have kids, you know that fruits and veggies may not be their first  choice of snack! Was she drinking enough water? Was her spine out of alignment and she needed to visit a chiropractor? Those were my first thoughts, and the first things I tried working on with her. I tracked her water intake, we talked about if the potty was scary, we started seeing a chiropractor weekly, and I even added in some fiber supplements to her smoothies. And yet, with all of this effort, still crickets. No poop. She would go up to a week without pooping....

Having a surgery of any kind is a stressful, traumatic event on the body, and when the body is under stress, it requires more nutrients to function optimally and heal. The one nutrient I make sure that all of my clients know about when they are preparing for a surgery is PROTEIN! 

Your protein requirements for optimal function increase pre and post surgery (especially post surgery when the body is recovering). You don't need to go overboard, but you do need to put a focus and effort into increasing the amount you consume. 

In general, protein requirements are about .8 to 1 gram per kilogram of bodyweight for normal, non surgical/non-stressed life function. Post surgery, that requirement jumps to 1.2 to 2 grams per kilogram for a few weeks.

I bring this up, because in a couple weeks I will be having another surgery, another c-section, and I know that in preparation, I have to really up my protein game. While pregnancy already has higher requirements for protein,...

When it comes to taking something off your plate (of life) to lighten your daily mental and physical load, meal delivery is a great option! There are so many options for meals delivered these days, from gluten free options, to vegan options, to keto options, paleo options, mediterranean options, etc. 

There are seasons of life when cooking/meal prepping/ grocery shopping are simply not a top priority. I know that when I welcome my 3rd child in just a couple of months, meal delivery is going to be something I rely on for a season. Even if it's just a couple meals a week that I don't have to think about, it's such a load off my shoulders. 

Don't consider it "cheating" if you get meals delivered. It's simply another tool you can choose to use for support along your nutrition journey. There are tons of options for meal...

When I started diving down the rabbit hole into the benefits of broccoli sprouts and why I should be making them, I learned about the powerful phytochemical, sulforaphane.  So, I took on the challenge of making them myself!  Below is a quick guide to making your own broccoli sprouts. 

The biggest reason to try growing your own sprouts? Broccoli sprouts are one of the best sources of sulforaphane. Sulforaphane has the ability to promote excretion of toxic substances from the body (aka: helps with detoxing). Research also shows amazing benefits for type 2 diabetics, as well as all inflammatory conditions in the body! So, why not give it a try? It's so simple.

Inside the Trainer In Your Back Pocket membership, we have an entire lesson on this topic, with a deep dive into the biochemistry and benefits of sulforaphane! If you are looking to go a little deeper into nutritional healing, make sure to join our membership for our monthly nutrition lessons! ...
